Movies and TV SceneItAll Tournament: Round 1, Heat 126

**Rain Man** · 04-20-2014, 09:06 PM

The rules:

In Round 1, I'm going to put up three randomly selected scenes from the nomination thread.

You'll vote for your ONE favorite scene among the three. The key here is FAVORITE. We're not talking about the 'best' or 'most powerful' or 'most meaningful'. We're talking about the scene that you most enjoy watching, however you define that.

The winners will move on. I'll also take the 10 highest-scoring second-place scenes and they'll advance as wild cards.

Some of our nominations did not include clips. This will be noted. If you find a clip, please post it and let me know so I can update it if it moves on.

My votes:

#1 - Beetlejuice. I love the 'strange and unusual' line.

#2 - Spinal Tap. It's an iconic scene, of course, but I think the memory of the scene is better than the scene. Some of Rob Reiner's lines are a little rigged and stilted.

#3 - Singing in the Rain. It's a fine scene, but to be honest there was another scene from the movie earlier in the tournament that I liked better.

Is this a typo?

It's a pretty high-brow line. Not everyone will understand it.

(And I have had crushes on both Winona and Geena, so you're courting trouble if you criticize a scene with both of them in it.)
